Swachcha Gram Yojana: Gujarat Government

Government of Gujarat celebrated year 2007-08 as “Nirmal Gujarat”. If the village is properly cleaned the good spirits of cleanliness will be spread. This would increase the level of cleanliness as well as level of rural life. Inspired by this the gram panchayat may be alert to make the village neat and clean.

The Key Points under this Yojana are:

• Gram panchayat should spray medicines, in dirty place, public gutter lines and roads.
